Abstract
In a method for inferring a topology of components in a network, at least one operation parameter is provided for each of a plurality of components in a network, and a similarity measure is computed between at least two of said components based on values of said operation parameters. Based on said similarity measure, it is determined whether said two components are topologically connected, wherein said similarity measure is computed in terms of a normalized mutual information between said operation parameters pertaining to said two components.
